No multi-display option

[sophie999]

Hello,

I have p8z77-v deluxe MB with corei7-3770K chip and 16Gb RAM. Installed all the updated drivers from asus web site. When go to the intel graphics module, under the multi-display options, only single display option exists. I was recently playing with new dell laptop, and went to the same menu, and it had other options for multi-display fromat (extended....). Mine only has one display option. Now, I only have 1 dispaly connected so far, but do I need to connect other monitors to see those options?

I did enable multi-disply in the BIOS, rebooted, but that did not change anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much

Sincerely,

Sophie

yes, you need two displays connected to "enable" it in windows.

OK. Thanks a lot.

I have HDMI (in use) and DP outputs. Do I need active DP adapter to use it at all(looks like passive cable has no signal when I connect to the second monitor)?
